摘要:Ad hoc networks are collections of mobile nodes communicating with each other using wireless media without any fixed infrastructure. Designing routing protocols for this kind of restricted resources is very difficult due to dynamic characteristics of their network topology. A fundamental issue arising in mobile ad hoc networks is the selection of the optimal path between any two nodes. A route discovery attempt can possibly result in several paths being uncovered for a single destination. As nodes often have a finite capacity path cache, it may not be possible to store all paths. To improve routing efficiency the caching decisions of fuzzy logic system is to be appropriate. This action causes a cessation in the generation of low quality route, as only paths with good routing metrics are selected for the rebroadcast of route discovery packets.
